We are the Biggar Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This is an easy urban 5 mile walk totally on the flat along tarmac riverside and parkland paths and pavements. This absorbing walk passes many fine buildings linked to Dumbarton’s industrial past of heavy industry and ship building. There are great examples of regeneration and new development bringing life and vitality to the town. We will pass many landmarks along the route including Levengrove park, Dumbarton Rock (which dominates the town), its historic castle and the Maritime Museum.
There are toilet facilities along the route, but not at the start point. You may therefore want to use the service station (ESSO garage) facilities on the A82 dual carriageway, before filtering off the dual carriageway onto Glasgow Road, signposted town Centre. Ignore the park and ride car park just before the railway bridge at East Dumbarton so continue and turn left onto Castle Street at the junction opposite McDonald’s. At the end of Castle Street turn right and immediately left and head for the park-and-ride car park at the end of Church Court adjacent to the Glasgow Road dual carriageway opposite the municipal building.
